Lin Lian asked for leave from Zhan Keke and took her to eat delicious food and play fun games. The little girl was surrounded by joy and happiness all afternoon and couldn't stop giggling.

Night came soon, and Lin Lian did not take Zhan Keke back to the villa, but to the apartment she rented before.

This apartment has always been there, what it looked like before she left, and what it looks like now.

This place hasn't changed, but it's just that no one has lived here for a long time, so it has an old and unfamiliar smell.

"Hey, where is this?"

Zhan Keke walked into the apartment and looked at everything unfamiliar in it. The little girl was full of doubts.

She has never been here before and this is the first time.

But the little girl was not afraid of strangers at all. She looked around curiously with her big eyes, her little face full of novelty.

Lin Lian took the slippers and put them on for her: "This is Mommy's secret base."

"Secret base?"

Zhan Keke's eyes widened and her mouth formed an O-shape. She covered her mouth. She originally wanted to speak louder, but when she thought of the secret base that Lin Lian mentioned, her voice became softer unconsciously and whispered: "Mom.

"Hey, dad doesn't know about this secret base, right?"

He looked at the forest curtain with big eyes, and there was no doubt in it.

It's almost certain.

She felt that Dad must not know Mommy's secret base.

Lin Lian's eyelashes twitched slightly, and he put the changed shoes side by side in the shoe cabinet for the little girl: "I don't know."

Zhan Cocoton

Shi raised his little head: "Keke knows!"

She was so proud that after saying that, she ran inside: "Keke needs to take a good look at Mommy's secret base and see what Mommy's secret base looks like!"

Lin Liang curled his lips: "Run slowly, don't be in a hurry."

While she was talking, she opened all the windows in her house to let some air out.

The breeze quickly blew in, bringing with it a fresh breath, taking away the old and unpleasant smell in the room.

Lin Lian looked at everything here, which seemed familiar yet strange at the same time.

It was less than a year since she left here, but when she walked in here again, it seemed like a long time had passed.

Zhan Keke ran around the apartment freely, while Lin Yan was tidying up.

She became busy changing out what needed to be changed and washing what needed to be washed.

"Mommy, aren't we going home?" Zhan Keke finished reading and saw Lin Lian putting the changed things in the washing machine, and asked doubtfully.

"I won't go back for the time being."

Lin Lian turned around and saw that the little girl was running with sweat on her forehead. He took a tissue and knelt down to wipe her sweat.

Zhan Keke blinked her eyelashes and looked at Lin Lian: "Is it because dad is not at home?"

Lin Lian's hand movements paused.

Without waiting for Lin Lian's answer, Zhan Keke said: "A home without daddy is not a home. We are not going back. Keke will live here with mommy first. When daddy gets better, we will go home together."

This is her prayer and what she expects.

Maybe she did it for

An excuse for my own uneasiness.

Lin Lian didn't say anything. She looked at the little face in front of her, her black gem-like eyes, which were full of serious conviction and strong desire.

She retracted her hand and held the little girl's hand: "Keke, don't be afraid, no matter what happens, mommy and daddy will love you."

"We will never leave you."

When Zhan Keke's thoughts were revealed, her happiness disappeared, and her big eyes revealed real uneasiness.

He stepped forward, hugged Lin Liang, and said in a weak voice: "Keke hasn't seen mommy and daddy for several months. Other classmates have daddy and mommy coming to pick them up, but Keke didn't. They all said daddy and mommy don't want it."

Cocoa."

"Keke is very scared, thinking that mom and dad may really not want Coco anymore."

"But Keke doesn't dare to really think that, for fear that it will be true, for fear that her parents will really not come back, and Keke will be alone in the end. Keke is really scared."

The small body holding her didn't have much strength, but it was this small strength and the soft little body that made people feel distressed.

Lin Lian hugged her: "Mommy often gives you videos and phone calls, and dad will also record videos for you. If mom and dad don't want you, why do they do this?"

"Keke knows, but she is just afraid..."

Her voice was tinted with a cry, weak and frightened.

Lin Lian helped the little girl out and looked into her tear-filled eyes: "Mommy understands.

It's because mommy and daddy didn't do well that we are scared."

"But Mommy promises that it will never be like this again."

"Um!"

Zhan Keke nodded heavily and wiped the tears from his eyes: "Is Mommy done?"

Lin Lian curled his lips, placed his fingertips on the corners of her eyes, and wiped away the dampness and heat: "Yes, it's done. That's why Mommy can be so sure to promise it to us."

Zhan Keke's mouth opened and she hugged Lin Liang: "Yeah!"

"Coco believes it!"

Zhan Keke continued to play, and Lin Curtain continued to clean up. At this time, her cell phone rang.

"Mommy, phone!"

Zhan Keke ran out with her cell phone.

Lin Liang put down the rag and took the phone: "Thank you, okay."

"You're welcome~"

The little girl ran away in a bound. Lin Lian picked up her cell phone to check the call, then walked to the balcony: "Grandma."

"Lin Lian, you just came back. Have a good rest. Grandma has something to do and has to leave Kyoto. Fang Ming is here. If you need anything, call him. Grandma will come back when she is done."

Hou Shude's loving voice came, full of care.

Lin Lian looked at the night outside. It was almost nine o'clock and the city was filled with bustle.

"Don't worry about me, I will take care of myself, but you should take care of yourself and don't be too tired."

"Haha, grandma knows, okay, you go to bed early, I miss grandma

Call grandma anytime."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Liang lowered her eyes and looked at the darkened screen of her phone.

After a long time, I put the phone aside and continued to tidy up.

And here, Hou Shude hung up the phone, the smile on his face disappeared.

Liu Yuqing said: "With Fang Ming here, nothing will happen."

Hou Shude shook his head: "It's not Lin Lian."

The forest curtain will be nice with Coco here.

She was thinking about Lian Shi.

Liu Yuqing looked at Hou Shude's look and probably knew what she was thinking.

She looked at the time, and then said: "Our flight is at 12:50, and we still have some time. Why don't we go to the hospital to see Lianshi?"

After getting off the plane today, Lin Lian went to school, and they went to the hotel.

After a simple wash and rest, I went to the Zhan family's old house and watched Zhan Qibei until leaving for dinner.

Liu Yao came to pick them up in person, and then they got a piece of news.

Liu Yuwen's body was found.

Hou Shude made a decisive decision and went to Fengquan Town.

She wants to go there in person.

Everyone knows her heart. After decades of absence, she can finally see her son. Even if it is just a skeleton, she still wants to see him in person.

So, knowing that Hou Shude was exhausted, he still booked a flight for tonight.

Hou Shude pondered: "Pack up your things, go to Lian Shina and go directly to the airport."

"OK."
